It is the second day since the president of Yoon Suk Yeol was arrested by a high-ranking government official's criminal investigation office on charges of rebellion.
The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit plans to call President Yoon back this afternoon to investigate, and will seek an arrest warrant as early as today.
I'm connecting with the reporter. Reporter Kim Tae-won.
President Yoon's investigation today will begin in the afternoon?
[Reporter]
Yes, the high-ranking government official's criminal investigation office will call President Yoon back as a suspect from 2 p.m. today to investigate.
It is said that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit initially notified President Yoon of his attendance this morning,
It is reported that President Yoon
requested a postponement of the investigation due to health problems.
As the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit accepted this and postponed the investigation schedule to the afternoon, it is not small that attendance itself will take place.
Earlier, President Yoon was under intense investigation at the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit in Gwacheon Government Complex for 10 hours and 40 minutes from 11 a.m. yesterday.
Deputy Director Lee Jae-seung, Lee Dae-hwan and Cha Jung-hyun took turns to interrogate the suspect.
From the motive of plotting martial law in advance against President
Yoon, the specific details of ordering the infiltration of the National Assembly and the National Election Commission or the operation of a politician's arrest group were questioned.

The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit can request an arrest warrant for President Yoon as early as today?
[Reporter]
Yes, for this investigation, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit prepared a 200-page questionnaire, but it is difficult to secure meaningful statements as President Yoon exercised his right to remain silent.It is reported that President
Yoon did not even say that he would refuse to make a statement throughout the investigation yesterday.
However, it is known that there was some statements made by President Yoon regardless of the contents of the newspaper.After completing the investigation, President Yun
did not read the newspaper report, seal, or seal it.
It seems to be an extension of the existing position that "the investigation of the Airborne Division is illegal, but I attended the Airborne Division to prevent bloodshed."
In addition, the record that the suspect did not seal or seal is not valid, so it seems to be a strategy to block the reason for being convicted during the trial.
However, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit believes that it is not unreasonable to prove the charges regardless of whether they make a statement or not.
After completing the second investigation, the Seoul Western District Court, which issued an arrest warrant, will also seek an arrest warrant for President Yoon as early as today.

I think the schedule of the interrogation of the arrest suit requested by President Yoon to the court could be a variable.
[Reporter]
President Yoon said he filed an arrest suit with the Seoul Central District Court shortly after the investigation yesterday.
The arrest suitability is a system in which the court re-judges whether the arrest of an investigative agency is legitimate and asks for release, and the court must make a decision within 48 hours.
Following the refusal of the statement, the court said it would fight the illegality of the arrest, which is interpreted as the purpose of confirming the court's claim that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit does not have the right to investigate rebellion.
It is also noteworthy that the Seoul Central District Court requested the arrest suitability of the Seoul Central District Court, not the Seoul Western District Court where the warrant was issued.
President
Yoon's side has argued that the Seoul Western District Court is not a court under the jurisdiction of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, and that it is illegal to specify the exclusion of the search restriction clause under the Criminal Procedure Act in the arrest warrant.
In response, it is interpreted as a strategy to move the legal battle by requesting a review to the Seoul Central District Court rather than the Western District Court, which is difficult to believe is fair.
The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit must request an arrest warrant within 48 hours from the time of arrest, and the interrogation process can be a variable in the investigation as it excludes the time taken during the arrest investigation.
The Seoul Central District Court plans to designate an interrogation date soon.
As a result of
, it is unlikely that there will be a setback in the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit's plan to seek an arrest warrant today.
So far, I'm Kim Tae-won of YTN at the High-ranking Public Officials Crime Bureau.
